Typing— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and organize your answer with a clear topic sentence and one or two supporting reasons using linking words. Avoid repetition (you repeat ideas about mistakes and autocorrect). Include a specific example to make your point clearer.

Example: I prefer handwriting to typing because it helps me learn from my mistakes. For example, when I write essays by hand I notice my spelling errors and correct them later, which improves my memory. Also, handwriting feels more personal and helps me concentrate better.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence and give one or two specific reasons with a linking word. Avoid filler phrases like 'if I have to' and minor grammar errors. Mention a brief example or situation to illustrate portability.

Example: I usually type on a laptop because I don't own a desktop and laptops are very portable. For instance, I often take my laptop to a café or to class so I can finish work wherever I am.

Suggestion: Give a clear, concise answer and then add one specific supporting detail. Avoid repeating phrases and fix tense/wording issues. Use linking words to connect the time and the reason or context.

Example: I learned to type when I was nine at school. We had a weekly computer class and went to the computer lab, where we practiced typing exercises and simple assignments, which helped me improve quickly.

Suggestion: Provide a direct topic sentence and one or two specific methods you use to improve typing. Use linking words and correct small grammar issues. Rather than vague phrases, name concrete practices or apps and give an example of frequency or result.

Example: I improve my typing by chatting in English on social apps and by practicing regularly. For example, I participate in daily group chats on Instagram and spend 20 minutes a day typing messages, which has increased my speed and confidence.

× I prefer handwriting because in typing I think I will do a lot of mistakes with my keyboard and when I'm handwriting I know I will do mistakes but if I'm doing typing the mistakes will be auto corrected from the auto correct option.

✓ I prefer handwriting because when I type I think I will make a lot of mistakes with my keyboard, and when I write by hand I know I will make mistakes but if I type the mistakes will be auto-corrected by the autocorrect option.

Prepositions and verb forms were used incorrectly: 'in typing' should be 'when I type' to indicate the activity; 'when I'm handwriting' should be 'when I write by hand'; 'do a lot of mistakes' is wrong collocation—use 'make a lot of mistakes'; 'doing typing' is awkward—use 'type'; 'auto corrected from' should be 'auto-corrected by'. Suggestion: use 'when' + base verb for habitual actions and use correct collocations (make mistakes) and prepositions ('by' for agent of correction).

× But if I'm writing something it won't be auto corrected so it will make me learn more.

✓ But if I write something it won't be auto-corrected, so it will help me learn more.

Article issues and verb form: 'I'm writing something' is acceptable but 'write' is clearer for habitual/general statements; 'make me learn more' is non-idiomatic—use 'help me learn more'. Also use hyphen in 'auto-corrected'. Suggestion: choose natural collocations like 'help me learn'. Keep tense consistent for general truths (simple present).

× If I have to type, I type on a laptop because I don't have a desktop and in laptop it's really a portable device so I can get it anywhere I want.

✓ If I have to type, I use a laptop because I don't have a desktop, and a laptop is a portable device so I can take it anywhere I want.

Pronoun and article use: 'in laptop' is incorrect; use 'a laptop' or 'my laptop'. 'Type on a laptop' or 'use a laptop' is more natural. 'Get it anywhere' is informal and unclear—use 'take it anywhere'. Suggestion: use correct articles before countable nouns and prefer 'use'/'take' for devices and movement. Maintain simple present for habits."

× Like if I'm going to somewhere else I can just carry it and just type from there.

✓ For example, if I go somewhere else I can just carry it and type there.

Preposition and verb form errors: 'going to somewhere else' is incorrect—use 'go somewhere else' or 'go to another place'. 'Type from there' is odd; 'type there' is natural. Suggestion: avoid redundant 'just' and use simple present for habitual ability. Stick to correct preposition patterns: 'go somewhere', not 'go to somewhere'.

× I learned it when I was 9.

✓ I learned it when I was nine.

Tense is correct (simple past), but write numbers under ten in words in formal writing and avoid 'it' ambiguity by specifying 'to type' if needed. Suggestion: optionally say 'I learned to type when I was nine.' for clarity."

× In my school we used to have a computer period.

✓ At my school we used to have a computer class period.

Preposition and word choice: 'In my school' should be 'At my school'. 'Computer period' is understandable but 'computer class' or 'computer period' is fine; adding 'class' clarifies. Suggestion: use 'at' for institutions and prefer 'computer class' for clarity."

× So when we used to have a computer period we used to go to lab and in lab they used to we used to write on computer because we had a topic or computer.

✓ So when we had a computer period we went to the lab, and in the lab we used the computers to do assignments on the topic we had been given.

Multiple structure errors: overuse of 'used to' caused awkwardness. Use 'we had' (simple past) for past routines; 'go to lab' needs article 'the lab'; 'write on computer' should be 'use the computer' or 'type on the computer'; 'we had a topic or computer' is unclear—clarify as 'topic we had been given' or 'assignment topic'. Suggestion: simplify past routines with simple past and include articles for places and devices."

× So we have to write on computer and really just go with it.

✓ So we had to type on the computer and just get used to it.

Tense and phrasing: original mixes present and past. Use past 'had to' to match context. 'Write on computer' -> 'type on the computer'; 'go with it' is informal and unclear—'get used to it' is natural. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and choose idiomatic expressions."

× I improve my typing, my just going to Instagram GCS, like group chats where I used to talk to a lot of people daily, a lot of random people and they become my friends.

✓ I improved my typing simply by going on Instagram groups and group chats where I used to talk daily to many people, and some of them became my friends.

Pronoun and tense issues: 'I improve' should be past (context describes how it happened)—use 'I improved'. 'my just going to' is ungrammatical; use 'simply by going on'. 'Instagram GCS' is unclear—use 'Instagram groups and group chats'. 'They become my friends' should be past 'they became my friends'. Suggestion: keep tense consistent and use correct prepositions ('on Instagram') and verb forms."

× So I used to talk to them in English.

✓ So I used to talk to them in English.

This sentence is actually correct for describing a past habit, so no grammatical correction is needed. Keep as is. Explanation: 'used to' correctly indicates a habitual action in the past. Suggestion: none.

× So it just improved my writing a lot and my typing a lot too.

✓ So it greatly improved my writing and my typing, too.

Word choice and adverb placement: 'improved my writing a lot and my typing a lot too' is repetitive and colloquial. Use 'greatly improved' or 'improved both my writing and my typing' and place adverbs before the verb or after 'greatly'. Suggestion: combine elements to avoid repetition and use appropriate adverb placement.
